Find a Therapist in Canada

As a psychotherapist, couple and family therapist, ecotherapist and creative arts therapist, I work with adults, couples and groups at diverse stages of life. My work is systemic in that I see individuals as impacted by, and interconnected within, larger networks of relationships and social systems. The values underlying my practice are rooted in a long-term dedication to social justice, my belief in creativity as a healing force, and my love and respect for the natural world. Seeking help takes courage, and no one approach works for everyone. I work collaboratively, and tailor my approach to each unique person.  

My priority is building meaningful connections where trust & authenticity can flourish. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to the individual, not a one size fits all approach. I am deeply passionate about helping clients reconnect with their inner strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and develop a greater sense of agency in their lives. I aim to meet you where you are, honour your lived experiences, and support you in making sense of challenges in a way that feels empowering and sustainable.  

Let’s be honest...life can be a lot. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck in old patterns, or just trying to make sense of... everything, you’re in the right place. Whatever brings you here, I truly believe that life’s ups and downs (and even those curveballs we never asked for) can offer hidden opportunities to learn, grow, and reconnect with what matters most. Together, we’ll work on restoring a sense of balance, clarity, and presence in your life, because you deserve to feel more grounded, empowered, and like yourself again. We’ll start with a thoughtful assessment to understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and then dive into the areas that matter most to you. You’ll gain insight into how past experiences and thinking habits may be impacting your present, and learn how to shift out of stuck places. We'll also explore your values, strengths, and passions so you can start moving in a direction that actually feels good. I bring over 25 years of experience as a therapist, and just as importantly, a down-to-earth, compassionate approach. You’ll be met with warmth, humour when it helps, and zero judgment. I know that therapy can feel vulnerable, so building a strong, genuine connection is always my top priority. It would be a true honour and privilege to work with you. I bring humour, depth, years of experience, authenticity and heart to the therapy room..and I welcome all the parts of you. Guiding growth with curiosity, compassion, real talk & a sprinkle of science. Curious if we’d be a good fit? I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can chat and see if the vibe feels right. And if you're looking to dive in deeper, feel free to ask me about my Therapy Intensives, an accelerated option for those ready to make meaningful shifts, fast.  

I am a warm, compassionate and attentive therapist who values each person's life experiences. My approach to therapy is open, sincere and non-judgmental to journey alongside each client through their healing or growth process.  

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Life can feel overwhelming when you’re experiencing anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship struggles, or self-doubt—especially when you’re the one everyone else relies on. I support women ages 25–45 who are feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and want to feel steadier, more confident, and more in control of their lives. You are great at taking care of everyone else, but it's time to take care of you.  

As a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, I provide a compassionate, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, helping individuals heal from childhood trauma, addiction, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges. Using a holistic and integrative approach, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Attachment Therapy to support personal growth and emotional healing. I create a safe, inclusive space for individuals and couples, with a special focus on marginalized communities and the LGBTQ2+ community. I believe in the mind-body connection, empowering clients to rewrite their stories, build resilience, and lead fulfilling lives.

Betrayal Trauma is not just professional work for me - It is personal. In addition to being a Certified APSATS Coach with advanced trauma training, I am also a betrayed partner. The most meaningful letters after my name are not just my credentials, but the lived experience that fuels my passion for this work. I understand the shock, hypervigilance, grief, and confusion that follow relational betrayal, and I provide trauma-informed, partner-sensitive support that prioritizes safety, clarity, and empowerment. If you are navigating infidelity, sexual addiction, or relational deception, you deserves support from someone who both understands the clinical complexities and truly "gets it."  

I practice psychology with a holistic perspective, focusing on the whole person, heart, mind, body, and soul, rather than just the symptoms. My experience is working with people from different cultures (Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, …) of all ages.  

*Accepting new clients for immediate booking* Life can be hard. Sometimes we find ourselves asking how we got here and sometimes it's hard to know where to start. We just know something doesn't feel right and these feelings can consume and overwhelm us. Perhaps you're experiencing some setbacks or challenges that you're finding difficult to cope with like anxiety, depression, loss, relationship issues, family conflict, or maybe you're just feeling really stuck. It's difficult to put into words how we feel when we don't understand what's really going on in our heads. If it feels like things are falling apart and you're feeling lost or overwhelmed or unable to cope alone, allow me to support you in finding your way back to feeling like you again.

Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential.

In my work, I believe you are the expert in your own life. I offer the space and support to help you explore deep insight into your strengths, your needs, and what matters most to you. Through my own lived experience, I understand what it can feel like to start over as a newcomer in a foreign place. I hope to support you as you are rebuilding a sense of identity, belonging, and stability, and hold awareness of the many expectations placed on women in our society, especially when navigating work, caregiving, and life transitions.  

Post-pandemic life is certainly a new normal. I notice many people are having trouble adjusting to the changes, and cannot quite return to the life they used to know. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I am happy to help you connect to your self, improve your functioning, determine your next moves, and move past any fears or insecurities that are holding you back. I specialize in LGBTQ+ populations, trauma recovery, improving attachment issues, and overcoming depression and anxiety. My preferred modalities are EFT, CBT, ACT, IFS, and SE.  

For over three decades, I have had the privilege of helping clients while striving to provide the very best of counselling therapy they have entrusted me with. I am committed to excellence by staying at the forefront of therapeutic advancements, integrating current and effective techniques to empower clients in achieving their goals efficiently. In my practice, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where individuals can flourish, develop self-assurance, and embrace their full potential. My mission is to help clients overcome challenges, unlock their ability to lead fulfilling lives, and realize their authentic selves. I am dedicated to ensuring each individual feels seen, heard, and empowered to reach their goals. Counselling has had a transformative impact on my own journey, serving as a powerful means of redemption and personal growth. It is now an immense blessing for me to be able to provide counselling for others, extending hope and facilitating healing in their lives, a possibility I firmly believe in because I, too, have navigated and overcome what once appeared to be insurmountable challenges and obstacles. I have made many mistakes and experienced many challenges, heartache, and sorrow, as well as incredible blessings in my lifetime. Today, I give God thanks for all His gifts – for the peace and assurance that I have even in difficult circumstances; for health, healing, and forgiveness; for family and friends; for the opportunity to do the work I do; and for His love that permeates my life. I was divorced after 27 years of marriage and have two adult children. I married Bob Hardie in 2000, but was widowed in 2008. I have since remarried to a rancher who was also widowed. Together, we have 4 children, 8 grandchildren (one in Heaven), and 1 great-grandchild. We enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family. In addition to my private practice, I have a strong commitment to community outreach through my church, where I have actively facilitated various supportive and educational classes. These include GriefShare, a comprehensive program specifically designed to assist individuals navigating the complexities of grief and loss after experiencing the passing of a loved one. I also lead the Boundaries class, which is tailored for those facing separation or divorce, providing valuable insights and practical strategies to cultivate healthier relationships by establishing and maintaining personal boundaries. Furthermore, I facilitate the Changes That Heal class, offering a transformative experience that empowers participants to gain a deeper understanding of their past experiences, enabling them to build a more resilient and fulfilling future.  

Hi! I'm Angie. I am a registered social worker and I have been supporting residents of Saskatoon on their journeys since 2011. As a member of a dysfunctional family of origin, I have interacted with conflict, stemming from intergenerational abuse and addiction, from a very early age. In 2021, I began taking conflict resolution training and fell in love with guiding others through conflict and communication challenges that often arise out of maladaptive coping strategies. I offer strengths-based, solution focused counselling and a conflict resolution services to individuals, couples, families and groups. Effective conflict resolution facilitates empowerment through self-determination, capacity building and increased communication for healthier relationships. I began private practice in 2022 as "Angie Howlett - The Conflict Counselor". However, this name quickly evolved in 2024 when I began volunteering for an international indigenous child and family organization. To maintain confidentiality and privacy of volunteers and service users, each member of the organization is given a spirit or tribal name. After a naming ceremony with an elder, a chief and the member who brought me to the organization, the name I was given means peace parity and hope for the future and loosely translates to white dove. And so, White Dove Counselling and Mediation was born! I practice on Treaty 6 Territory and use a trauma informed lens. I recognize various socio-economic barriers limiting your ability to access counselling and/or conflict resolution services. Therefore, I offer flexible in-person or virtual sessions outside regular business hours and sliding scale fees for those with no private health insurance. You may be able to claim your session through employer health benefits. I am preapproved by NIHB and Victim Services. Check with your provider(s) today to ensure coverage. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards Peace, Parity and Hope for the Future!  

It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change. My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy. I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.  

At Critical Trauma Therapy, we understand that each person's journey is unique, and our therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients.  

I am a client-centered therapist, providing counselling and psychotherapy in Toronto and remotely. I believe that in a nurturing and emotionally safe environment, we all have the capacity for healing, growth, and finding our own answers.  

If you want to work on your boundaries, perfectionism, critical self-talk, burnout and relationships with friends, family and/or partner(s), I could be the therapist for you. I have helped many clients with these issues through our intentional work together.  

Life can sometimes feel like you’re running in circles—facing patterns that are hard to break, struggling with worry, self-doubt, or lingering effects from past experiences. You may notice tension in your relationships, challenges with communication, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. I provide a supportive space to slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and build practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, capable, and present in your daily life. Clients often describe a sense of relief and renewed hope after beginning therapy. Many report increased self-awareness, steadiness, and confidence in handling difficult emotions or life transitions. My work focuses on helping you take small, meaningful steps toward lasting change while developing tools that support long-term growth. I use a collaborative, evidence-informed approach that integrates nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and attachment-focused insights. Together, we’ll explore both practical solutions and deeper understanding, creating a path toward greater resilience, clarity, and fulfillment. When you’re ready, I offer a free initial consultation to help you determine whether my approach aligns with your needs.
